Works best with shafts with bushings

I wanted stainless steel but the ones I got wouldn't thread. Apparently some, if not many, stainless steels are difficult to "machine" or thread. But this steel easily took the thread.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Not sure

Stem bent too much

The stem had a significant bend. It will not work. The package also contained a large area sealed with very sticky packaging tape taped directly to the metal. It is planned to replace the tabs. The rod is acceptable but the care and selection was very poor.

Pros
  • Linear Motion Products
Cons
  • I'll write later

Sturdy and easy to use

I bought these rods for an airplane model building project. I'm pretty sure using them was too big a project, but they were cheaper than wooden dowels and a lot stronger. Who cares if it's over engineered when you can get them for about half the price of wood. I never have to worry about them breaking or splintering. A little acid etch paint takes care of any corrosion issues and I'm good to go. I used a rotary tool with metal cutting discs to get the length I needed. My planes look great on…

Pros
  • Power Transmission Products
Cons
  • Very expensive
